Prestige 324 Intelligent Broadband Sharing Gateway

Procedure To Use The RESET Button

Make sure the PWR led is on (not blinking) when you begin this procedure.

Step 1. Press the RESET button for ten seconds, then release it. If the PWR LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the Prestige restarts. Otherwise, go to step 2.

Step 2. Turn the Prestige off.

Step 3. While pressing the RESET button, turn the Prestige on.

Step 4. Continue to hold the RESET button. The PWR LED will begin to blink and flicker very quickly after about 10 or 15 seconds. This indicates that the defaults have been restored and the Prestige is now restarting.

5.4General Setup

Menu 1 - General Setup contains administrative and system-related information (shown next). System Name is for identification purposes. However, because some ISPs check this name you should enter your computer’s “Computer Name”.

In Windows 95/98 click Start, Settings, Control Panel, Network. Click the Identification tab, note the entry for the Computer Name field and enter it as the System Name.

In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, Control Panel and then double-click System. Click the Network Identification tab and then the Properties button. Note the entry for the Computer name field and enter it as the System Name.

In Windows XP, click Start, Control Panel, System. Click the Computer Name tab. Note the entry for the Computer Description field and enter this entry as the System Name.

The Domain Name entry is what is propagated to the DHCP clients on the LAN. If you leave this blank, the domain name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used. While you must enter the host name (System Name) on each individual computer, the domain name can be assigned from the Prestige via DHCP.
